The Wet Lens Galleries

Welcome to a gallery inspired by the untamed energy and elegance of the ocean, where every frame captures the soul of the sea. From the daring artistry of big wave surfers to the meditative allure of fine art oceanscapes, these images explore the delicate balance between adrenaline and tranquility. Lifestyle moments, marine wildlife, and mesmerizing liquid textures come together to celebrate the ocean in all its moods and magnificence. Shot entirely on breath-hold, this work honors nature’s terms—embracing its power and vulnerability without intrusion or compromise.

This collection is more than a visual journey; it’s a reflection of what it means to truly immerse oneself in the ocean’s embrace. No SCUBA tanks, no barriers—only a camera and the rhythm of the waves, guided by the patience and respect the sea demands. Each image invites you to feel the pull of the tides, the roar of the surf, and the quiet whispers of life beneath the surface. Step into this aquatic realm and experience the timeless dance of light, motion, and water.

I tend to prefer a shutter speed of 1.6sec for water when it's moving at this level of swell to get a dynamic sense of motion.
